The project was supported in part by the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities, grant U01CA114591 - WINCART (Weaving an Islander Network for Cancer Awareness, Research and Training). Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the NCI CRCHD. This American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funded project provides the opportunity for paid summer research internships for 10 Pacific Islander students to explore cancer and cancer-related health research topics! We are GRATEFUL!
THANK YOU WINCART!
"WINCART is dedicated to reducing disparities in cancer incidence and mortality among Pacific Islanders in Southern California. This network will address the cancer needs of Chamorro, Marshallese, Native Hawaiian, Samoan, Tongan, and other Pacific Islanders through community and research partnerships aimed at increasing capacity building to support community-based participatory education, research and training as well as improve access to, and utilization of, effective cancer prevention and control programs."
